CHARTER DAY
The University of Nebraska, according to the catalog, was founded
by an act of the legislature, effective February IB, 1869. Today is
then the forty-vlghth anniversary of the University.
The faculty senate, giving as their reason lack of interest among
the students In the observance of Charter day as a holiday, has seen
fit to abandon it as such. Except for the commencement exercises
this evening at the Temple, there will be no observance of the day.
Because this is the University's birthday, however, it Ik fitting
that the students stop and ask themselves, what has the University
done for me and "What have I done for the University?"
Some of us there are who have already learned to know the Uni
versity as a friend. Its homely buildings, its inadequate facilities in
themselves make the feeling of loyalty rise all the stronger, for the
University Is the more in need of appreciation for what it Is really
worth, It is more in need of friends who will see that in the future it
is given some adequate means to impress itself upon the life of the
people of the state.
Have you made friends here that are true, love you for what you
are, that will be with you through life? Then thank the University on
this Charter day.
Have you been given a broader grasp on the moaning or life, are
you conscious of your fellowship with all men, and do you feel a
sympathy for them? Then praise the University on this Charter day.
Have you been given higher Ideals and loftier ambitions, and a
stronger desire to be of service to those dependent upon you, and to
those around you? Then do not forget that the University has dono
this for you.
Have you been broadened where you were narrow? Have you
been made to feel the joys of right living when you once were cynical?
Then think of the debt you owe your University on this Charter day.
The faculty has not abolished Charter day. It has merely made
it somewhat harder for the students to think about the meaning of the
day. It is no less the duty of the students, and of the faculty as well,
to spend some thought today on whether they are fulfilling their duty
toward the University.
Charter day will not always be so lightly passed over as this one
will be. The old custom of a holiday must return In time. With its
return will be some form of observance more fitting to the meaning
of the day than that which has been abolished.
Professor Fling will talk on "America and the World War" at the
Temple theatre tonight, his address being the oration for the mid
winter graduates. The subject is of especial vital interest to every
one just now, and no one can deal with it better than Professor Fling.
The oportunity of hearing him should not he neglected.

THE DAYS GONE BY
Eight Years Ago Today
The Nebraska Student Volunteers
opened their third annual convection
with delegates present from eseven
schools over the state.
The second of the annual Sigma Xi
addresses was given by Professor
Webster of Clark University, on the
subject, "The Creed of the Scientist."
Dr. Ellery Davis, dean of the college
of arts and science delivered the mid
winter commencement 'address. "A
Coming Aristocracy."
Seven Years Ago Today
Two records were broken and a
third tied at the annual charter day in
door meet R. O. Funkhauser broke
the previous shot-put record by 3
inches.
Five Years Ago Today
Ninety students were given degrees
at mid-winter commencement.
Eleven firms were bidding for the
contract for the erection of the new
law building.

Our Dally Thought
It's a nood thing for some of the
men that Valentine Day comes but
once a year.
"Come one, come all
Shake a foot, some ball,"
Says the sign on tho east side of
U hall.
A sign like that
Is a reflection flat
On the ones Inside of U hall.
It may bo all right
For tho men who fight
For that kind of a sign to fall
But the others who go
Are pretty slow
If they "shake a fool,
ball."

Oh the life of a cub reporter
Is the ono that hadn't orter
Be for mother's darling dorter
Not at all.
For the news may not delightor
Or the click of a typewriter,
Might often start to frlghter.
That la all.
The thousand or more or less In
dividuals who think that this "Non
Compos Mentis" is aimed at them,
flatter themselves. We have no time
for petty personalities, and it's only
the very elite or notorious who gain
the slightest recognition In our hum
ble column and then the names are
printed as plainly as possible.
One more day before the gathering
of the Golden Fleece.
Wonder if the politicians' faces
feel stretchy.
Today
Is the
Forty-eighth birthday
Of this University.
And we are glad
For the work
Of those men
Who have done so much
Work, through the
Years to make it
The schooi that it is.
And now comes the
Question
Whether you and I
Will ever do anything
For which those who
Follow us
Will be glad.
The demonstration of
Gladness does not
Necessarily have to be
Outwardly visible;
Often the greatest
Thanksgiving
Is concealed within
The quiet appreclativenesa
Of a simple character.
Each one of us
Helps to make
The school what
We want it to be
And though we
Could not lay the
Foundation
We can lay the
Bricks for the
Solid walls.
